2. Helmets (2) with intercom Sena 20 seems to be the consensus.

3. Jackets - Stay with highly visible colors

4. Rain gear - It's gonna happen

5. LED\Reflectors - improve visibility

6. Trike Cover

7. Battery Tender

8. Bling - Either Wraps or custom paint that personalize the bike to me.

Seems like purchasing the trike is the beginning not the end of the choices to be made.
Since you live in Iowa and it isn't exactly riding season I would purchase all elsewhere. Try on helmets somewhere to find a brand you like and get your size and get it online ... UNLESS the dealer had tricked you into thinking he is giving you $xxx free accessories for letting him sell you a a Spyder.

Your stock seat might feel good to you ... give it a try for a few hundred miles. I have 3k miles on my F3L stock seat and it feels OK to me.

Motorcycle Dave has great prices on headsets and he is very knowledgeable about them and will try to steer you towards what product you need based on your riding habits.

Save yourself some money by not buying at the dealer and you can get more farkles with your savings.
